    It lasted like a total of a week before they started running stories of how the poor Afghans were being oppresed and starved by the evil Taliban, but also that we shouldn't do anything to help them, like take in refugees.

        the country is now on the edge of universal poverty since the US "nation building" project just made Afghanistan incredibly reliant on foreign aid. Aid was like 75% of the annual income and 40% of GDP, all of which was revoked overnight when the Taliban took over. Then for good measure the US stole all the savings of the Afghan people (and gave it to stupid fucking 9/11 survivors, something the Taliban literally had no involvement in) and sanctioned them so hard they can't conduct international trade with anyone. The empire was humiliated militarily, now they are trying to starve this nation into submission.

        Another crime that must be paid for :amerikkka:
